post «Becoming a Better Judge of People»

I do believe the following questions are very useful in any situation you need to recruit talent:

1. What is the talk-to-listen ratio of this person?
2. Is this person an energy-giver or -taker?
3. Is this person likely to "act" or "react" to a task
4. Does this person feel authentic or obsequious?
5. What's the «spouse»/«significant other» of this person like?
6. How does this person treat someone s/he doesn't know?
7. Is there an element of struggle in this person's history?
8. What has this person been reading?
9. Would you ever want to go on a long car ride with this person? Or if you were stuck at an airport with a candidate, how would you really feel?
10. Do you believe that this person is self-aware?

I have found those great questions in an excellent post at HBR by Anthony K. Tjan: check the full post at http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/06/becoming-a-better-judge-of-peo/
